Happy happy New Year! What a wonderful thing, being able to close out 2021 and bring forth 2022. With a new year comes new possibilities and new stories to be written. Being completely honest, I never thought that I would make it to 2022. As this is my graduation year, it always seemed so far off, just an imaginary thing I was waiting to come. Now, it’s here and ready to be embraced!

A friend ask me what my resolution was as we were waiting for the clock to strike midnight a few nights ago. I had absolutely no idea. In the past, I’ve always embraced the typical challenges such as eating healthier, being more on-top of tasks, exercising more, getting more sleep, drinking water, pretty much any of the typical resolutions. Well, I decided to give myself a week to think about it before deciding what my main focus of this big year was going to be.

The answer came to me sooner than I thought. I was scrolling through my Pinterest this week-end trying to decide what quote was up for Word Wednesday when I came across this one at the very, very bottom of my quote board. Immediately, I took it to heart.

This is a big year as I mentioned above. I graduate high school, play my last seasons of high school and club soccer, move away from home, start my 1st semester of college, and a lot more little things that I can’t remember in this moment. Since so much is happening, I don’t want to get lost in the whirlwind of everything going on. I want to enjoy myself without losing sight of who of I am.

So, what exactly is my resolution? Simple. Have more fun! I want to soak up these experiences instead of worrying about what I’m going to miss or what is going to come. No matter what is going on, I want to go out and make memories this year, soak up the possibilities.

I hate to say it, but Cyndi Lauper is right; girls do just want to have fun! What better time than 2022?!
